Captain
Suryakumar versus Salman Ali Agha isn't really a contest. Surya is currently the best T20 batsman in the world. His range of shots and ability to find boundaries when the team needs them makes him special. Agha is a good player but doesn't have that X-factor.

Openers
India will likely go with Gill and Abhishek Sharma. Pakistan has Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub as options. Fakhar's been around the block and knows how to handle big occasions. Gill brings class. Abhishek brings power. Should be an even contest.

The Finishers
This is where India really shines. Hardik Pandya remains their trump card - can bat anywhere from 4 to 7. He is a great medium-pace bowler and can win matches single-handedly. Pakistan doesn't really have anyone in that category right now. Rinku Singh could also be an added advantage for India. Pakistan has Khushdil Shah for similar situations, but he's not been as consistent.

Fast Bowling
This section is very interesting. Bumrah versus Shaheen Afridi is the headline for this match. Both can swing matches with the ball, though Bumrah's been more consistent in the T20s recently. Bumrah's death bowling is probably the best in world cricket right now. Arshdeep Singh and Haris Rauf make for another good contest.

Spin Department
India looks better here. Kuldeep Yadav has been a fantastic spinner in the T20s, and his variations trouble most batsmen. Pakistan have Abrar Ahmed, who can also spin very well and be a trouble for India.

Wicket-keeping
Sanju Samson can do wicket-keeping, and his batting ability makes him an asset. Pakistan's Mohammad Haris is talented but still there is no match for Sanju.

India's squad looks more balanced overall. They have batting depth, a world-class bowling attack, and proven match-winners. Pakistan have individual brilliance but seem to lack overall depth. But cricket matches are unpredictable — any team that performs on the day can win. Here we tried to analyze the India National Cricket Team vs Pakistan National Cricket Team Players. I hope you guys like this effort.
